0.1.3

0.1.3 is mostly a stability update for the things that could leave players stuck, lagged, or carrying the wrong state after Dreamspace did something weird.

• Fixed slippages sometimes staying in the world after their grace period ended. Dreamshift now double checks player dimension changes every server tick, so Immersive Portals entries still get caught even when the usual dimension change event path does not fire.
• Fixed the multiplayer case where everyone enters the same slippage, returns to the Overworld, and the old portal stays behind as a laggy unusable shell. If every online player has entered that slippage session, Dreamshift now closes the source portal immediately instead of waiting for grace to time out.
• Fixed old unusable slippage portals being able to survive after the saved slippage marker was already gone. Cleanup now forces the Immersive Portals entity and Dreamspace runtime reference to clear by slippage ID.
• Fixed broken or invalid slippages skipping part of the normal cleanup path. These now go through the same removal logic as grace-expired slippages, which should stop old portal references from piling up until restart.
• Fixed a respawn edge case with Dreamspace inventory isolation. If the player has a saved normal inventory snapshot after respawning outside Dreamspace, Dreamshift restores it and clears the old return snapshot instead of leaving the player in a bad inventory state.
• Fixed Dreamspace environment locking leaking into the Overworld. Dreamspace still holds its authored sky time and weather for players inside it, but Dreamshift no longer writes shared server gamerules, day time, or weather from Dreamspace environment sync, so Overworld days continue and sleeping advances night normally. Saves already affected by older builds may need /gamerule doDaylightCycle true once.
• Added config options to prevent reusable Dreamspaces from resetting and to disable the random unscripted Dreamspace return timer, giving creators more room to preserve progress and author longer visits.
• Tuned natural Reality Slippage spawning so checks run every 20 seconds instead of every 10 seconds. The default 5% roll now averages about one successful spawn roll every 6 minutes 40 seconds per player before caps and wall-candidate checks.
• Changed fresh configs to disable familiarity tracking by default. With familiarity tracking disabled, natural slippages avoid the player's current chunk and only use valid nearby adjacent-chunk wall candidates.

0.1.2

• Fixed TIMEZONES in multiplayer. The scripted sequence is shared now, and the Dreamcatcher keeps coming back for the next player instead of ending after one hit.
• Fixed Unauthorized Church in multiplayer. The Dreamcatcher can keep chasing whoever is left, and the rare ending pulls the others in to watch before sending everyone out.
• Fixed Route 66 in multiplayer. The hitchhiker keeps going after the next player instead of ending the event after catching one person.
• Added a config option to allow spawned NPCs and mobs in Dreamspaces for content creators, without enabling natural spawning there.

0.1.1

• Fixed bed protection in dreamspaces (this should've been the last thing capable of killing the player in dreamspaces. deaths in dreamspaces cause a lost inventory upon returning to their original dimension)
• Added config UI tooltips to make the user experience easier.
• Added Slip Chance Multiplier as an option for natural random slips. Random slip rolls now multiply Random Slip Base Chance by this value and clamp the effective chance to 1.0; negative values are sanitized to 0.
• Added Minimum Days Before Slip as an option for slippages and random slips. Both triggers now wait until the configured in-game day before starting.
• Added configurable unscripted Dreamspace return timing with Unscripted Dreamspace Min Duration Ticks and Unscripted Dreamspace Max Duration Ticks, replacing the previous hardcoded weighted duration buckets.
• Fixed config values that weren't working.
• Fixed multiplayer floor slips pulling nearby players in automatically. Random/void slip follow behavior now creates a temporary null-zone bounding box at the original slip location and only starts another player's follow slip if they are inside that box.
• Fixed Industrial Rebirth in multiplayer. Closing the chest with the rose now pulls nearby eligible players into the same Dystopic Ruins event instead of only slipping the player holding the rose.
• Fixed Level 7: FLOODED, Whirl Gap, Retired Wish, and Journey's Station from not loading correctly in slippages.
• Expanded Stale Light for multiplayer exits. When one player drinks it, that player leaves first, then another Stale Light drops where they were if anyone is still inside. This repeats until nobody is left in that Dreamspace.
• Fixed the Offices Neighborhood event for multiplayer. When the leg drags a player away, the Don't look up paper now drops where they were if friends are still inside, so the event can keep going.
• Improved visibility of event house in Offices Neighborhood.
• Fixed Reality Slippage Dreamspaces reusing old state. Each slippage now opens into a fresh temporary Dreamspace instance, and restored stale slippage markers are cleaned up on startup instead of repeatedly reopening portals in the logs.
• Tweaked debug slippage face creation so /dreamshift slippage commands can bypass the natural per-chunk slippage limit while normal slippage spawning still respects Max Slippage Faces Per-Chunk.
• Updated config documentation and English localization for the new settings and tooltip text.
• Added Fabric mod contact metadata for the Dreamshift homepage and issue/support link.
• Refreshed the bundled Dreamshift icon asset.

Dreamshift Changelog

0.1.0 - Initial Release

Dreamshift 0.1.0 is the first public release of the atmospheric horror mod for Minecraft 1.20.1. Reality does not always hold. Walls develop hairline tears that should not be there. Floors stop feeling like floors. Overused tools quietly give out. And sometimes, all of it opens a doorway into a Dreamspace — an authored pocket of somewhere else entirely.

This release introduces Reality Slips, Reality Slippages, Dreamspaces, seamless wall portals, configurable behavior, and builds for both Fabric and Forge.

Highlights

• Added Reality Slips: moments where the world around you simply stops being solid — a void you fall through, a place you linger too long, a tool that finally breaks down — and you're pulled into a Dreamspace instead of dying or losing your tool.
• Added Reality Slippages: visual glitches in familiar walls. A normal wall can develop a faint, almost-invisible flaw that slowly worsens into a hairline crack, then tears open into a real, walk-through doorway.
• Added Dreamspaces: 19 handcrafted, authored horror locations with their own atmosphere, lighting, weather, and rules, each one a fully separate place you're sent to and safely returned from.
• Added scripted "someone is in here with you" moments to several Dreamspaces, built on top of normal exploration rather than hostile mobs.

Reality Slips — falling through a null zone

A Reality Slip is what happens the moment reality stops cooperating. It feels less like a portal and more like the world momentarily forgetting you're standing in it — vision darkens, control gets heavy for a second or two, and then you're standing somewhere else. Slips can currently happen from:

• Falling toward the bottom of the world (the void). Instead of dying, you slip.
• Sheer chance, rarely, while just playing normally.
• Walking through an open Reality Slippage doorway.
• A Fractured Tool finally giving out near you (see below).
• The /dreamshift slip command, for testing.

Slips are intentionally rare, sudden, and a little disorienting. You are returned to your exact original location and your normal inventory afterward — nothing is lost permanently.

Reality Slippages — when a wall looks wrong

Reality Slippage is the other side of the same phenomenon: instead of the floor giving out under you, a wall itself starts to fail.

A slippage quietly appears on a normal wall in a place you've spent time in. At first it's nothing — completely invisible, just data the game is keeping an eye on. Watch it long enough and it becomes a faint, dormant flaw. Linger near it more and it starts to visibly crack. Eventually it breaches: a real, narrow vertical tear opens straight through the wall, and you can see and walk through to whatever's on the other side.

• Slippages only ever appear on solid, ordinary-looking walls — never floors or ceilings, and never as a separate "weird block." The wall stays the wall until the moment it actually tears open.
• Once torn open, the doorway renders as an actual seamless view into the Dreamspace beyond, not a flat texture.
• Slippages are one-way and one-use: once you step through, that tear closes behind you for good.
• Slippage activity is restricted to the Overworld by default and is fully configurable.
• Players on Sodium (Fabric) get the same clean torn-wall visual as everyone else.

Dreamspaces

Each Dreamspace is its own authored location with its own mood: fixed lighting, locked weather, isolated music, and rules that don't follow normal Minecraft logic. You're sent into one at random whenever a Slip or Slippage completes, and brought back to the real world exactly where you left it once you're done (or once you don't make it out the normal way).

The current archive of accessible Dreamspaces:

• Angelic Station
• Familiar Eye Exam
• Floating Barn House
• Frutigo Aero
• Level 7 FLOODED
• Lone Theatre
• Lost Homes
• Mosaic Meters
• Mossy Rooms
• Offices Neighborhood
• Overgrowth
• Pink Lone House
• Retired Wish
• The Ungate
• TIMEZONES
• Unauthorized Church
• What's Above Is Blue
• Whirl Gap
• Dystopic Ruins (entered only through the Industrial Rebirth event below — never by random chance)

A handful of these — Pink Lone House, TIMEZONES, Offices Neighborhood, Unauthorized Church, and Dystopic Ruins — go further than empty atmosphere. Something in them notices you. What that turns into is best discovered in-game.

The Industrial Rebirth Event

Dystopic Ruins isn't entered like other Dreamspaces — it has its own dedicated trigger, found through normal loot.

A rare, custom-named Wither Rose called "Industrial Rebirth" can occasionally turn up in village chests. It looks and acts like ordinary loot until you close a chest while still holding it. That chest-close doesn't behave normally: instead of just shutting the lid, it quietly starts pulling you into a Reality Slip, and a few seconds later you arrive in Dystopic Ruins still holding the rose.

In short: finding "Industrial Rebirth" turns the next chest you close into a doorway instead of a chest. It's a very rare drop and easy to miss the first time it happens.

Fractured Tools

Crafting tables, furnaces, blast furnaces, and smokers can wear thin if you lean on them too hard.

Every workstation of these types quietly keeps track of how much you've used it. Use one heavily enough, and every so often the game rolls a chance for it to become a Fractured Tool: a workstation that has been used so much it starts to come apart from reality itself. A Fractured Tool doesn't look obviously different at first, but anyone who stays close to it for too long risks Slipping straight into a Dreamspace mid-task.

Fractured Tools are intentionally uncommon and tied to genuine heavy use, not a punishment for normal crafting or smelting. The feature can be tuned or turned off entirely in the config.
